Overpiced opportunity with no money for you.

Who are most MLM members- crooks or maximus ignoramus - just brainwashed confused people? And if you want to become a MLMer, what category are you going to refer yourself to? Okay, let's begin with ignoramus part.
You are invited to join a program, company, meeting. You come open minded willing to learn. You get a lot of information, none of it can be confirmed, it’s just a word of mouth (of your upline).He is the person , whose income directly depends on your participation and he has to convince you to join and to spend as much money as possible on this opportunity.
Even if the main product of this company is not a scam, if it is really good, in order to pay the commissions, bonuses, what not, it has to be overpriced and it usually is.
And its uniqueness and benefits of using usually are overly exaggerated and overestimated . Recently in a Chinese (I should say Eastern) Supermarket I noticed a bottle of Noni juice - $4.50 for a bottle.
I remembered the MLM I tried to participate in, where you have to pay 75 bucks for a bottle to distribute.
$75 for bottle of a juice? Who is going to buy it? - Some schmuck or completely confused and brainwashed person, hypnotized with perspective of big bucks, if he would manage to find another schmuck to buy into the program.
The juice has to do miracles, but the miracle is way too expensive!
Recently a new MLM company emerged on the market. It sells American silver coins.
Okay, it is something that sounds better than a juice, but still. What's the point of buying a coin that costs $90 plus shipping and handling, when you can buy the one for $20 and enjoy it just the same? Why, we always try to save money, but not in MLM?
As soon as we joined the MLM clan ,we are closing our eyes and just shedding our money left and right regardless.
Is it a mass hypnosis? I am curious.
I want an opportunity to make money without buying next to useless overpriced products, and I do not want market the C-R-A-P (sorry, let's call spade a spade). As one marketing lady told me: Why you are so worried? Just dump the f* product, it's just $25. Look at the OPPORTUNITY!

I am tired to be poor...

I am very-very tired to be poor. To think about money every day. Of what I should or shouldn't buy. Of what I want and cannot have.

May be it's not fair. Not fair towards people who are living on the streets right now and do not have a place to go or somebody to talk to. Who is sick and scared and abused.

I still have my job and place to live and I am not hungry.

But is it enough to a human soul? Just shelter and food and nothing else? Do I have to be content with that or go for something else?

The problem is I do not know how.

How to free myself from fear and dependancy on my everyday's toil ?

How to obtain some freedom to do what I want?

Is it really possible, or is it just a hopeless fantasy of an overworked individual?

Somebody told me: you have to be born in this country. I am not, sorry.
Does it mean that I have to work hard all my life with nothing to show?
Is it a punishment for being an immigrant,a reluctant immigrant? I don't know. I know I cannot come back. This is my home, my country, my destiny.
I am still alive and still looking for something, something that can feed my soul and give me more meaning to my life. I am still looking...

The Spring and new ideas

The Spring is here. It's such a lovely time in Canada!
After long cold windy nasty period, suddenly everything is bright and blooming. Gentle rain washes the pavement, making everything look bright new.
I finally moved from my old place. This new apartment is new indeed. The management made a complete renovation, everything shines and my only wish is to have less noise as my new apartment goes close to main intersection of Keele and Sheppard and traffic never stops there. Big city never sleeps but I do, and sometimes I have to make tough decision at night: fresh air of the noise. If I am too tired I shut my bedroom window but no fresh air then...
Well life is not perfect, but we have to try and make the best of it. I wish I had more time to do things I like, unfortunately it's not the case. I have to be creative and find some time to learn new things because old ways to work and sustain yourself are not efficient nowadays, I have to find something else.
Now I am really interested in network or affiliate marketing, but the learning curve is quite challenging when you have to work 6 days a week with lots of chores on the 7th. But is it something new for a reluctant immigrant? Isn't it something that I usually do: lots of work and little rest? Well, stop complain, old girl, and get on with your choirs. Faster you finish - more free time for yourself. Very simple formula.
I guess I have to go. I come back when I will find the network marketing that I think will suit me, well I will tell you anyway about my findings. So long!
